Steve Fahnestalk is with Tim Kirk.
It is my sad duty to report that my friend, the fantasy and science fiction artist George Barr, died on Saturday, April 19, 2025. He was a multiple award nominee (Hugo and Locus Awards), a talented pianist, an excellent nonfiction writer (and published fiction writer). We were friends for half a century, and he will be sorely missed. (Photo from ISFDB) George Edward Barr, Jan. 30, 1937-April 19, 2025.
